You might not think it, but I can see why it would. ( people want to die at home, don't they? in their own beds, surrounded by their own people. death is the unknown, and so going into it you'd want to feel safe and be surrounded by the familiar. he can understand that well enough. and maybe because he holds that particular preference, he'll never really understand the heroic types who want to go out in a blaze of glory.

there's a reason the system of death here is so alarming to him, an he could almost think of it as some kind of scolding. but he doesn't voice those thoughts now. ) You're still here, though. In more ways than one. And even if we'd be better off all at home, I'm glad this place works the way it does, this time.
